For One More DayThis is the story of Charley, a child of divorce who is always forced to choose between his mother and his father. He grows into a man and starts a family of his own. But one fateful weekend, he leaves his mother to secretly be with his father - and she dies while he is gone. This haunts him for years. It unravels his own young family. It leads him to depression and drunkenness. One night, he decides to take his life. But somewhere between this world and the next, he encounters his mother again, in their hometown, and gets to spend one last day with her - the day he missed and always wished he'd had. He asks the questions many of us yearn to ask, the questions we never ask while our parents are alive. By the end of this magical day, Charley discovers how little he really knew about his mother, the secret of how her love saved their family, and how deeply he wants the second chance to save his own. |

Charlie � Chick � Benito and ex-professional baseball player who like Job of bible days gets a second chance and an amazing blessing from sudden and tragic misfortune .In his second book , Albom weaves a story of baseball , an unforgetable loving mother , a family ghost , and surprising Scroogelike visits that should appeal to sportsfans and nonsports fans alike . As I �journeyed � with Charley Benetto, contemplating his disappointing yet astonishing life, it left me wishing that Chick was a real person . However , this short tale reminded me in a very thought provoking way that my life is real and like the former Pirates catcher any of our closets can be cleaned of most the skeleton�s and missed opportunities that take our gaze off those around us and the life that remains in front us . It�s a bargain table quick read from the author of �Tuesdays with Morie� that I will confidently recommend and/or pass around to fellow readers.

I love the Herb-Savor by Prepara. It prolongs the life of fresh herbs up three weeks and looks hot to boot.
I really need that!
My herbs always died on me.. -
Followed the post on Tastespotting. I have an herb keeper that works wonderfully — the greens last for weeks in my fridge but *this* one is so attractive, I would bring herbs right to the table. I love it, thanks for posting.
Well, this took me about two seconds to buy. I love fresh herbs but they always end up black on me. I have visions of cilantro living on for a couple of weeks at a clip. Plus, it's so cute.
I know – I love it too! It's our next kitchen purchase!
So useful, and yet so chic! Lovely solution to a household problem. I definitely will be buying one of these – thanks!

Member Since: May 2000 Ordo Ignis: Novice RK: 12 MP: 5,919 | Sunday December 18, 2005 2:45 PM All across the world, one can find legends of sea and lake monsters. The most famous of these creatures is "Nessie", or the Loch Ness Monster. According to sightings around Loch Ness, Nessie is a large creature with a serpent-like neck and tail, a large body and flippers. Apparently, from some reports, Nessie is capible of land movement as well as water propultion. Over the years, there have been many attempts to find the monster, using everything from vigils from lakeside, to the most up-to-date side-scanning radar. So far, no proof of Nessie existing has been found.But, Nessie isn't the only lake monster in existance. Apparently Nessie has cousins all over the world. In southern Georgia, the Altamaha-Ha is a creature said to have two camel-like humps with a similar structure to Nessie. According to sightings by seasoned fishermen, it churns the water in "an unusual fashion" when it rises to the surface or submerges. Sightings documented since atleast the 1960s New York's Lake Champlain is the home of "Champ" a Loch-Ness type creature. Sightings as early as 1833. Selma of Lake Seljordsvatnet and Rømmie of Lake Rømsjøen are only two of over fifty different creatures in Norway's many lakes. Memphe has been sighted since the late 1700s at Lake Memphremagog in Quebec. Ogopogo lives in British Columbia's Okanagan Lake. Lake Van in Turkey has it's monster, emerging in 1995. Africa has both the inkanyamba, a huge serpent-like creature in the pools of Howick Falls, South Africa, and the Mamlambo, a half-horse, half-fish like creature living in Umzimhlava [Mzintlava] River of the East Cape region of South Africa. Nahuelito live in Nahuel Huapi Lake, and is an up-to 150ft swan-like creature with the head of a serpent. Australia has the Hawksberry River Monster, with one Australian naturalist (who obviously beleives in them) saying they are breeding! Most of the descriptions of these creatures fits a specific type of dinosaur-era sea creature called a Plesiosaur. These creatures had long snake like heads and tails, large bodies, and four large flippers. According to one article http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/bowdenmalcolm/plsfin13.htm , a Japanese trawler suppostedly found a carcass of a plesiosaur-like mammal off the coast of New Zealand in 1977. (I am not certian I would trust this source. The official report of the carcass was that it was a basking shark. This particular article was written by a creationist author. He beleives this carcass is proof that land-based dinosaurs were killed in the Biblical Great Flood, but that the water-based dinosaurs survived. It's an interesting read nonetheless.) So far, modern science says these creatures don't exist anymore, as we haven't found any physical evidence of them. But, modern science has found other living "sea monsters" recently, with the finding of the coelacanth in 1938 and the filming of a living wild giant squid in September 2004 by Japanese Researchers. So, the question remains, are these creatures real? Do Lake, Sea, and River Monsters exist? Or, are we just attempting to find something to beleive in?

Member Since: July 2002 Ordo Lucidus RK: 16 MP: 10,266 | Sunday December 18, 2005 3:44 PM Did you have any links to some info on this? I never heard about it until now and the whole giant squid/sea monster thing was always a keen interest of mine. Moving on.. Of all the 'creature myths' out there I think the most plausible, perhaps even the most 'probably true' ones are of sea-monsters. Mainly because even today the sea is largely a mystery to humanity and so it is not even close to unfathomable to think that something as large as a 'sea monster' could continually slip past us. And from what I understand most bodies of water that contain 'lake monsters' also have -some type- of access to a much, much larger body of water (the ocean, for example) that a creature could conceivably slip through to get back and forth. Further, and unlike many other mythical creatures, sightings of various sea-monsters go back thousands of years, but are STILL being reported. I think to dismiss these claims out of hand would be a gigantic mistake considering sightings have been consistent (if not always accurate, believable, or even true at all) for a couple thousand years. I also tend to believe the plesiosaur theory, and I recall being very proud of myself as a child when I came up with that connection on my own, before it was ever mentioned on television or in a book (to my knowledge).

Insano | RE: Lake Monsters |
Member Since: May 2000 Ordo Aer: Novice RK: 9 MP: 2,517 | Tuesday December 20, 2005 11:49 AM I'm afraid I dont find that picture of the Giant Squid too convincing Silv. There is no scale to compare the squid to. If it were attacking a submarine full of Russians and dragging it to the depths on the other hand....Anyways, I've seen some video documentation of Ogopogo out in BC. In the video a water skier runs over a distinct 'snake like' shape disturbance in the water. The skier then promptly falls over. From what I've read and seen I think that the existence of Sea monsters is very likely. We've only explored a very small fraction of the earths depths. As well, it should be taken into account that sea dwelling species can exist in every direction (Up, Down, Left, Right, Ahead, Behind and any Combo of these) underwater which is quite different from land based mammals. Ironic is it not that we're beginning to explore the cosmos when we do not even posses intimate knowledge of our own planet. This Major Tom to Ground Control, I'm stepping through the door. And I'm floating in a most peculiar way, and the stars look very different today. For here am I sitting in a tin can, far above the world. Planet Earth is blue, and there is nothing I can do.

Oldest Packet Drop (OPD): a Buffering Mechanism for Beaconing in IEEE 802.11p VANETs
Eenennaam, Martijn van and Hendriks, Luuk and Karagiannis, Georgios and Heijenk, Geert (2011) Oldest Packet Drop (OPD): a Buffering Mechanism for Beaconing in IEEE 802.11p VANETs. In: Third IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference, VNC 2011, 14-16 Nov 2011, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Restricted to UT campus only : Request a copy 293kB |
Abstract: | The IEEE 802.11p MAC technology can be used to provide connectivity for real-time vehicle control known as Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control. Due to the real-time nature of this system, it is paramount the delay of the received information is as small as possible. This paper researches the Oldest Packet Drop buffering mechanism to increase freshness of beacons compared to the standard EDCA transmission queues, which have a tail-drop policy. We find that using the Oldest Packet Drop buffering mechanism instead of the standard tail-drop can significantly improve the freshness of the received beacons by reducing the queueing delay experienced by the beacons under near-saturation conditions. |

So what is wth the funky face pieces on the Scott masks? Is this a new mask I haven't seen yet or something custom made for the show so you can see the actor's face?

So what is wth the funky face pieces on the Scott masks? Is this a new mask I haven't seen yet or something custom made for the show so you can see the actor's face?
Common movie/tv show thing to show the face of people we're supposed to like and identify with. Look at star wars, rebels all exposed faces, stormtroopers/tie pilots always covered faces.
Those are NOT standard facepieces. The regulator does not lay flat like that at the bottom of the mask, it is out in front of the mask almost vertical.
I hope it gets cancelled....its sucks beyond anything on TV...
Fair till the mayor showed up then turned it off
I was told by some on duty guys that when they performed the Nance Drill some of the guys asked what they were doing, opening up a topic of discussion and possible future training topic.
Other than that...sigh.
At least I'm not the only one wondering what in the hell is up with those face pieces.
Were those the 5.5 , the 5500psi tanks? I couldn't tell, because every time they came on the screen someone would stand in front of the tv. I wonder if those are new masks for the 5.5.
Looks like I have some research to do.
Okay, so after about 5 minutes of research, this is what I have for the evening.
I'm not sure what pack they are wearing. I've watched scenes with the packs over and over and over again, and in my over tired state can not figure out if they are the 5.5's or not.
However, on the mask issue. Scott does NOT sell a mask that looks like that for fire service use. My guess is that the TV show had some masks made specifically for the show so that we can see the actors faces.
That's all I've got for tonight. I'm tired, and rambling. And that's a bad combination.
Unless you saw the bottle or the pressure gauge you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a 5500 and a 4500 psi Scott.
At this point I think the show sucks, but doesn't quite blow. I will give it one more chance but it seems to me to be almost going down the road of the crappiest season of Rescue Me, season 2 with all the non-fire BS drama.
People laugh at Ladder 49 but the one thing I think that movie did well was portray life in the firehouse. The pranks, the pecking order, the fact that sometimes we work with guys we wouldn't even talk to off the job, and yet there is the Brotherhood.
Oh well...I suppose the cops hate most of the cop shows too.
Negative. We just had a Scott rep at our place last week, and he brought a 5.5........that aint it and he mentioned nothing about a new mask.
as for the show......Trying to keep an open mind and understand that it is a TV show made for entertainment purposes by hollywood studio-types; although I do have to say I expected more from Dick Wolf (Law & Order.) But you do have to wonder if cops and lawyers laugh and critique cop and lawyer shows........
Ya .. Great show.
Company officers that fight like cats and dogs, hate each other's guts and can't work together.
Rookies that when they walk into a fire station are greeted with little more than disdain and are shoved into a task before they even meet with their company officer.
Company officers who has abeard which is most certainly not NFPA compliant.
And medics that seemingly supply drugs to the members while on shift.
Maybe it's just me, and I know it's just a TV show, but if i was a CFD member it would make my gut turn to see my department portrayed as such on prime time. I know it's "TV", but sadly to many of the vieweres perception will be reality.
I'm at the point where I never care if I see another TV show about fireman. After Rescue Me and what appears to be this train wreck of a show, I really just want to see cops portrayed as socially dysfunctional.
And by the way, I'm sure Chiocago PD is portrayed as being so incompetent that they can't even clear a room after a shooting.
Ya, great stuff.
over all this show might not be so bad. Little to heroish maybe. I know CFD gets a lot of jobs, and the medics do some out standing work. But might be a little over the top.
As a side note: We have all seen the influx of people wanting to be firefighters after certain events and movies. Back draft, Ladder 49, Sept 11th. I just hope that this show doesn't do that. Which it just might. Furthermore I would hate for this to be the driving force for CFD to create a new firefighter test. Since a lot of people are waiting to get that phone call to go to the academy. My self waiting for medicals.
No the fact that you are touting NFPA compliance is hysterical. Something about glass houses comes to mind, as does something about a pot and a kettle and their associated coloring....I could keep going but you will only backpedal by coming up with some asenine statement as usual.
I'm sure when he gets his NFPA-required physical the beard will go.
The sucks at best. Looks like backdraft but different day and company.
I liked the chief boxing on duty and responding in his gym clothes. Nice touch.

Specifically who has one of the original refillable mugs? Who has an resort specific mug? From which resort and what year?
I don't know when the resort specific mugs started but I know they were there when we went to WDW for the first time in 2004. We have our Poly mugs from trip #1. For the next few resorts we have resort specific mugs. In June 2007 when we stayed at the GF, I was surprised when our mugs were not resort specific. They were white with Dark Blue Characters and Handle, marked 2007, they say Walt Disney World, Where Dreams Come True. Every year thereafter they have been non-resort specific. I really wanted a GF mug...
@ tinkermommyof3 We also noticed the same thing in 2007 with the white cup and dark blue handle with 2007 printed on it.
I had them from the CBR in 1994. Back then they were like plastic short coffee mugs, a nice blue color with the CBR logo and Mickey Mouse on it, and they left 4 of them in the room. They were there for your use of your stay and if you wanted to keep them they charged you $8 for them. There was a little sign by the mugs on the dresser stating this. The maid service removed the dirty ones daily and brought new ones.
We have some of the very first mugs sold, but can't remember a year. I believe the first ones were lifetime refills. We have brought them in the past and none of the workers mention anything when we refill them. We just returned from WDW (didn't bring mugs) and noticed the new sign that says that mugs are for current stay only.
I have a Wilderness from the late 90s. They were still doing resort specific in 2004 when we went to POR because we have those too.
We have that one too! It was from our first stay on site at CBR. Our first wdw trip in 2003 we didn't stay on site.
We went in 1995 and had them, we were told they were resort specific, but we were told from friends who went that same year that they used their mug (same resort we had) at multiple resorts with no problem. This is our first trip back since 1995, so I take it from what I read it has gotten pickier and you can only use them at your specific resort?
I have a ridiculous number of mugs from 1994 on. I've donated or thrown out a lot of duplicates but kept one of each design. Most of them are resort specific mugs, since as a pp mention 2007 started the generic mugs. I have them from most of the resorts Poly, GF, CR, WL, CBR, CSR, Dixie Landings, Port Orleans before it was POFQ, PO Riverside, ASMo, ASMu, BWI, BC, AKL. I have different designs for many resorts, and different styles, such as the short plastic coffee cup ones in blue or pink from CBR (the only resort I know of that had that style), to the taller wider mugs, to the car cup holder styles offered now. I have clear with silver glitter mugs from 1997 stay at Poly I think, they say 25th anniversary. I try to get a Christmas mug with hot chocolate each year at HS and I have quite a few of those. I don't remember when signs started going up saying mugs were good for length of stay. I know I have plenty from before there were signs, but we bought new mugs because we stayed some place new, there were new designs, etc. We didn't buy any mugs our last trip, I already have 8 of the current design, and we were planning only breakfast at our resort, so we just purchased our drinks. First trip without a mug! It felt weird, but a mug cost more than what I was going to spend on drinks and it was the same old design. I wish they would go back to resort specific mugs!
You can only use the new mugs you purchase at the resort you bought them at (or sister resorts like POR and POFQ or the All Stars). The rules are written right on the mugs.
Yup! We have ones from the AllStars from 1998 and they were lifetime refillable!! Posted from Disney Forums Reader for Android
My first I the light blue glittery 25th anniversary mug with Cinderella coach logo from 1997. Lifetime refillable. Then we got a Flounder (from TLM) mug at CBR in 2000, then a 3 Cabelleros mug from CR in 2010. In 2011, we got our first generic style mug.
We got a resort specific mug from the Polynesian in 1997 and it was not a lifetime mug. There were signs posted over the stack of mugs stating Disney policy - unlimited refills for the length of the trip at that resort. We got a DVC specific refillable mug in 1998 that was not free refills, but $1 refills and not lifetime. We've also gotten resort specific mugs from GF, Wilderness Lodge, BC/YC, BW, PO (before it was POFQ), AK and none of them were refills for life.
My 1999 DxL's mug is resort specific, and it good forever, at DxL. Now, not sure if I can 'legally' take it back to POR and use it!!!! Also have resort specific ones from Pop, Boardwalk, the Polynesian and AllStar Music. None of those are lifetime refills though. After having more than 30 of the darn things, I've pretty much stopped buying them. I really wish Disney would institute a program where I could bring mine back, pay a nominal charge and use it wherever I'm staying.

WEST JORDAN, Utah — Authorities say a toy poodle saved a life in Utah by leading firefighters through his owner's smoke-filled home to a teenager asleep in the basement.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports that the dog named Ted was spotted by paramedics responding to the fire in West Jordan early Friday. Officials say that when they tried to catch Ted to bring him outside, he headed downstairs instead.
They say he waited until they caught up with him, then led them to a 19-year-old man who was sleeping on a couch in the basement.
Authorities say the man was treated for smoke inhalation and the dog was not injured. A woman and two children had already escaped the fire, which was possibly caused by a gas leak.

History A Brief History of Sikar It is escorted all around by the highwalls comprising of seven gates. The primitive name of Sikar was 'Beer Bhan Ka Bass'. In order of mitigate the enmity on account of the murder of Daulat Singh's father Jaswant Singh , Bahadur Singh the raja of Khandela gifted the village to Daulat Singh . He laid down the foundation stone of the fort on the raised ground of this village. Lateron his son Shiv Singh who was very strong, clever, courageous and bold made a magnificent fort on it. Shiv Singh was the most prominent Rao Raja of Sikar. He developed the village into a beautiful town. It is surrounded by a strong boundary wall. He was a religious man. Climate Climate Mean Max. Mean Min. How to Reach Sikar? By Air: The nearest airport is Jaipur. By Rail : Sikar is connected by Rail with Jaipur, Delhi, Ganganagar, Bikaner, Churu and all the major cities of India along with all the tourist interesting town of Shekhawati region. By Road : Sikar is well connected by roads with Delhi, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Bikaner and other important tourist centers in the Shekhawati. Monuments Khatushyamji Temple History princess) displayed his great warrior skills that pleased Lord Shiva who endowed his blessings in the form of Teen Ban (three arrows) and Agni Dev (fire god ) gave him a bow, so that he could conquer all the three worlds. In order to watch the famous war of Mahabharat he sat towards the battle field and in between his tryst with a Lord Krishna in disguise become a vital part of the history and thus the incarnation of KHATU SHAMJI. The lord asked the young Barbareek to sacrifice his head for charity, because otherwise the victory of pandavas would not be possible since he possessed the Teen Bans. The boy maintained his promise of Sheesh Dan as a true Kshatriya but at the same time wished to watch the war and his wish was granted. Later on, his head was buried in Khatu where the king had a dream and was inspired to construct a temple and place the head in a religious manner. Till this date his devotees are blessed by just pronouncing his name from the bottom of their heart with true Samarpan. The devotees from all around the world visit this pilgrimage temple at the time of the mela in the FALGUNSUDI EKADASI (Kartik) month. Their devotion and belief simply pours from their conscious belief. The temple today is run by trust and the offerings of the devotees are for the Kripa which the god bestows on his devotees Ganeswar Jeen Mataji Temple There is a popular belief which has come down to people through the centuries that in a village Ghoghu of Churu, King Ghangh loved and married an Apsara (nymph) on the condition that he would not visit her palace without prior information. King Ghangh got a son called Harsha and a daughter Jeen. Afterwards she again conceived but as chance would have it king Ghangh went to her palace without prior intimation and thus violated solemn vow he had made to the Apsara. Instantly she left the king and fled away with her son Harsha and daughter Jeen whom she abandoned at the place where presently the temple stands. The two children here practiced extreme asceticism. Later a Chauhan ruler built the temple at that place. Goddess Jeen Mata is Devi herself, the very embodiment of divine cosmic power. The deity is Mahishasura Mardini Durga having eight arms. The miraculous deity fulfills the wishes of her devotees. Whosoever acts unholily in the temple precincts is punished with a divine retribution. Mahishasura was demon in the form of a buffalo. He waged a fierce battle with Shri Durga. He with his forces affronted the goddess with all his demoniac powers. The battle with Durga has been beautifully described in the third chapter of Shri Durga Saptashati. Finally Durga pressed Mahisha with her foot and struck his neck with her lance. The lion too suppressed Mahisha (then in the buffalo form). This lion riding eight-armed form of Durga is Mahishasura Mardini. Here Jeen Mata is worshipped in her eight-armed form. The temple has been constructed in the style of architecture adopted by Pratihar and Chauhan clans of Rajputs. There are twenty four pillars with panels of figures finely carved on them. The main temple has a very high Shikhar (Pinnacle) in the midst . This is a unique temple from every point of view. It is believed that the Pandavas during their exile from Hastinapur came to the thick forests of this place where they spent their period here incognito. The daughter named Jeen of the King Ghangh also practised asceticism here. The place has acquired a great religious importance and is held sacred by all. Nestled amongst the high Arawali hills, the idyllic surroundings lend this sacred a natural grace of serenity and lushgreen vegetation with fauna and flora.

From Bogmalo down south, there is Majorda beach and the Majorda Beach Resort. Majorda is the village where the Jesuits, fond as they were of the good things of life, discovered the best Goan toddy (sap from the coconut palm), which they used to leaven the bread. Naturally, then, Majorda is the place where the Goans were first trained in the delicate art of baking European breads. The Majordans are still Goa's best bakers. The delights of the beach, however, were discovered much earlier, in the mythic times when the gods above went through a lot of turmoil. There is a Goan version of Ramayana and therein Lord Rama was kidnapped as a child and brought up at Majorda. Later, in pursuit of Sita, he camped at Cabo de Rama-a headland further south-where the stretch of developed beaches ends. Majorda is located at a distance of 18 km from Dabolim Airport and connected to Margao with buses, motorcycle taxis, and taxis.

Ryan Leef
- Not to be confused with American football player Ryan Leaf
Ryan Leef MP |
Member of the Canadian Parliament for Yukon |
Incumbent | |
Assumed office May 30, 2011 |
Preceded by | Larry Bagnell |
Personal details | |
Born | December 28, 1973 |
Political party | Conservative |
Ryan Leef (born 1973) is a Canadian politician, who was elected to the Canadian House of Commons in the 2011 election[1] by 132 votes.[2] He represents the electoral district of Yukon as a member of the Conservative Party. He grew up in Dawson City, Yukon. He has overseen prisoners as an assistant superintendent at Whitehorse Correctional Centre which was his most recent employment prior to politics. Ryan Leef is also a former member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, a Wildlife Officer and an investigator for Yukon Department of Justice. Ryan Leef has also fought in the cage as a Mixed Martial Arts fighter. He is a strong supporter and advocate of the sport.[3]
In October 2012, Leef ran in the Goodlife Fitness Victoria Marathon to raise money for the Canadian Diabetes Association.[4] Ryan Leef was noted in national media when he claimed that the polar bear population had increased dramatically. His position was refuted by polar bear researchers and according to one scientist was based on a report prepared by "professional climate change deniers." [5][6]
Early life[edit]
Ryan Leef has enjoyed a variety of occupations prior to being elected as the Member of 41st Parliament for the Yukon including; Wildlife Guide, Conservation Officer, RCMP Officer and Deputy Superintendent of Operations at the Whitehorse Correctional Centre. His family moved to the Yukon in 1984 and he has subsequently lived in many communities throughout the territory. Ryan lives in Whitehorse and has one son, Aaron.[7]
Political career[edit]
Leef was first elected in May 2011. He has been appointed to the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Ocean and the Standing Committee on Natural resources.[8][9] He has joined the Canada-Germany,Canada-United States, and Canada-Philippines interparliamentary groups and chairs the Canada-Australia-New Zealand Parliamentary Friendship Group.[10] Leef also chairs the Northern Caucus and the MMA Caucus, co-chairs the Hunting and Angling Caucus and sits on BC/Yukon, Outdoor and National Caucuses.
Throughout his political career Leef has endeavoured on many philanthropic projects under the banner of Inspiration Unlimited, including his "Border to Border Trek" across Yukon. The trek will see Leef running across the three Yukon borders over the course of three summers. Leef has already successfully completed his 1,200-kilometre journey from the northernmost point of the territory to British Columbia. While the run specifically raises funds for the Canadian Diabetes Association Leef used the opportunity to promote healthy mental and physical lifestyles.[11]
Using his background as a Department of Justice defense tactics instructor [12] Leef has led "Leaders in Life Mixed Martial Arts Against Bullying" clinics. He also hosts an annual chilli cook off[13] to benefit the Whitehorse Food Bank as well as a women's self-defence workshop to benefit the Yukon White Ribbon Campaign.
Robocall controversy[edit]
Leef's electoral district was affected by illegal, fraudulent robocalls in the 2011 Canadian election.[14] Voters in the area were directed to a phony voting location at Hootalinqua Fire Hall rather than Hidden Valley School. These calls claimed to be from Elections Canada, but Elections Canada does not phone voters, and was not responsible for the calls. This is both a criminal instance of fraud (representing oneself as from Elections Canada is fraud) and a violation of Canadian Electoral law (sending voters to a phony voting location.) Complaints brought to Leef's Facebook page were repeatedly deleted.[15] The Yukon is one of seven ridings affected by a court challenge to overturn the election results. Council of Canadians has alleged that voter suppression in the riding was widespread enough to affect the election results. If a judge agrees that the fraud could have affected the election results, a new by-election will be held in the riding.[16] Leef has not turned over his phone records to Elections Canada investigators. He has however said he would speak to investigators. Leef has denied that he deleted Facebook comments to hide the scandal.[17]

Info on Scholarship, Loan and Endowment Funds
Our Campaign: Enhancing The Mission
For over eight decades Harding University has been a leader in Christian higher education. Harding's emphasis on Christian scholarship, citizenship education and a values centered curriculum has carved out a special niche in the broad spectrum of higher education in the United States. Harding's commitment to core values is the major factor in its record-setting growth.
Harding has not been and will never be content with simply meeting the status quo. This institution has soared to ever increasing levels of service to the nation and to the world because of its core values and its deeply seated belief in enhancing the mission on a daily basis.
The early years of the 21st century find Harding once again spreading her wings to soar to higher realms. Enhancing The Mission is the most ambitious fund-raising project ever undertaken by Harding University. The campaign has many components with specific goals to help the institution reach new heights of service. The $135 million goal includes scholarship, capital, restricted and endowment segments. Though the goals and opportunities are new, Harding's commitment to the integration of faith, learning and living remains the focal point of its ascent in the future.
Enhancing The Mission Campaign
Scholarship Funding
Harding continues to attract some of the nation's brightest students. They are deserving students who are endeavoring to make a difference in the world. The Harding experience must continue to be affordable. To achieve that goal Harding must enhance its ability to provide much-needed scholarships for more than 6,500 students. It is an ambitious venture, but one that must be met.
Capital Projects
Enhancing The Mission includes improving and when necessary, expanding our physical resources. New classrooms are needed for growing enrollments in the sciences and education. Renovation and remodeling of existing facilities are a necessary part of making the campus functional in the 21st century.
- Expansion to Mabee Business Center
- New College of Nursing Center
- Expansion of Ganus Athletic Center
- Expansion of Jim Bill McInteer Bible and World Missions Center
Restricted Needs
In every major campaign there is a category that requires gifts to maintain existing projects. Often these are programs that were initiated in previous campaigns, but their importance to the University requires that specific funding be secured annually. Gifts in this category are raised from donors with specific interests in the ongoing projects.
Endowment Needs
(including deferred expectancies)
As it was in the previous campaigns, securing additional endowment is the largest portion of the campaign. In the 2008-2013 campaign Harding inaugurated a program to significantly increase its endowment. That initiative is not only being carried over into the Enhancing The Mission Campaign, it is being expanded. Endowment gifts create a permanent legacy to Harding and her students. Gifts are placed in the University's endowment fund, and a portion of the income earned from the fund finances many areas of the school's activities, including student scholarships.

Other Giving Opportunities
Named Gifts
A primary objective of the Enhancing The Mission Campaign is to increase Harding's scholarship and endowment funds and to complete priority capital renovation and new construction projects as outlined in the case statement. Listed below are numerous general endowment opportunities available. These and many other funds may be named for your family, business or corporation. They may also be named in your honor as the donor or in honor or memory of a loved one. Such arrangements are completed through formal agreement between you and the University Advancement Office.
Gifts to Establish Faculty Endowment Funds
- $1,000,000 - Endowed Chair
for support of a distinguished professor- $500,000 - Endowed Professorship
for the support of senior faculty- $250,000 - Endowed Fellowship
for support of junior faculty- $50,000 - Faculty Development and Enhancement
Gifts to Establish Student Endowment Funds
- $250,000 - Trustee Scholar Endowment
- $25,000 - Endowed Scholarship
Scholarship Fund
Century Club
The Century Club is designed to show a lasting appreciation for a special group of dedicated friends.
Becoming a donor assures that you will receive University publications, be listed in the annual report, and be recognized within the gift level for which you qualify. You may want to consider Harding's Century Club giving levels:
Patron Level | (bronze) $100 - $249 |
University Level | (silver) $250 - $499 |
Heritage Level | (burgundy) $500 - $999 |
Presidential | (black and gold) $1,000 - or more |
Tuition income, the major revenue component, drives the budget of Harding University. However, nearly $20 million of scholarships and grants in aid offered every year makes up a major cost in the annual budget; these awards include academic, athletic, performance, need-based and other forms of scholarship aid. Because most of this amount comes in the form of tuition waivers or discounts, the University's annual deficit of nearly $3 million actually occurs because of revenue lost to scholarship funding.
These scholarships and grants in aid must be replaced by gifts. Admittedly, we could raise our tuition and pass along these costs to our students and their families. This is what many institutions of higher learning do; tuition is raised and then a 'discount' is offered to those eligible. We, however, deeply believe this is not the proper course of action. We are doing our best to be sure a Harding education is affordable for people of all socioeconomic levels.
Therefore, we rely on the generosity and philanthropic spirit of friends and alumni - in short, people like you.
Every gift, large or small, is important. Each year the Office of University Advancement processes nearly 20,000 gifts from almost 7,000 donors. About 80 percent of these people give less than $250 annually; but those gifts combine with gifts of greater size to create a revenue to meet the budget demands of the University and allow us to continue offering scholarships to students who have a dream of coming to Harding - and a financial need for our help to make their dream reality.
Your gifts to the Scholarship Fund are vital and an investment of an eternal nature. Please plan to participate at whatever level you can by calling the Advancement Office at 800-477-4312.
Matching Gifts
While many of our donors are familiar with their company's matching gift programs, many others are not. There are two ways we have come up with to help our alumni and donors to discover if this is a possibility: (1) add information directly to our web site or (2) through a service which will link directly with our site. The second service is a fee service, so we want to try the first method first and the information listed is for possible future use only.
Matching Gift Programs
- Employer matching gift programs
- Ask Harding to see if your company will match a gift
- Partial alphabetical listing of companies that match employee contribution
Employers set up matching gift programs as a way to make charitable contributions to organizations that are important to its employees. Harding University receives more than $300,000 annually in donor-initiated matching gifts from corporations and foundations. These employer matching gift programs can double or sometimes triple your contribution to Harding.
Simple Steps to Secure a Corporate Match
- Obtain the form and necessary instructions from your personnel or human resources department.
- Complete the employee's section and sign the form.
- Send the form to:
Harding University's Advancement Office
Box 12238
Searcy, AR 72149 - We will complete our section and return it to the company.
Does your spouse work for a company with a matching gift program, too? If so, your efforts to obtain a second corporate match will be greatly appreciated.
- In some cases, companies will even match gifts from retired employees, spouses, or members of board directors.
- Many companies have matching gift programs. Matching gifts are a very important way in which you can enhance your charitable giving.
- Corporate matches usually double or even triple the benefit of your gift.You have an opportunity to direct you employer's philanthropic dollars to Harding.
Donor Programs
President's Council
Bringing energy and generosity to the task, the President's Council at Harding University has provided nearly 40 years of diligent service and outstanding support to the University. As the University goes into a new millennium, the time is ripe for renewal and growth as the council expands its influence for service to Harding. The President's Council includes a select group of men and women who have committed themselves to supporting and advancing the mission of the University. In the following ways:
- Functioning as goodwill ambassadors
- Furnishing advice and counsel on matters of strategic importance
- Contributing financial support and leadership, especially to the President's Council Scholarship Fund
- Assisting in student recruitment and job placement
- Identifying new Council prospects and working with Advancement staff in the recruitment process

Questions on Giving
Why is Alumni participation so important?
Alumni participation is used as an indicator of alumni satisfaction by some college guidebooks and by foundations. Alumni who participate at any level are helping Harding's standing for student recruitment and fundraising.
Each year Harding is rated by such organizations as Peterson's and U.S. News and World Reports. Alumni giving percentages are noted and factored into the ranking process.
Perhaps the most critical reason for a high participation rate among alumni is that major foundations consider heavily the willingness of a university's own alumni to support a campaign as a primary key in grant making. These foundations state that they seek to help those institutions which are helping themselves through the support of grateful alumni, parents and friends.
What types of gifts are sought?
We are seeking unrestricted donations to the University or to a specific school within the curriculum. We encourage each person to contribute faithfully each year in accordance with his or her means.
What are unrestricted gifts?
Unrestricted gifts support many academic needs. These change from year to year as the needs of the University and its schools change or opportunities emerge. These needs are basic to the operation of an institution of higher education and include primarily scholarships, but also faculty enrichment, program development, library acquisitions, administrative expenses, new equipment and improvements in facilities and grounds.
Will my company match my gift?
Many companies encourage their employees to contribute to their alma mater by matching their gifts. If your company has a matching gift program, help us take advantage of this opportunity by obtaining the form needed from the personnel office of your company. Please complete the form and return it to us with your gift record and count toward the level for recognition in the Donor Program.
Is my gift tax deductible?
The Harding University Annual Fund has been approved by the Internal Revenue Service as fully qualified to receive tax-deductible charitable contributions solely in support of Harding University.
When will I be solicited?
We generally send direct mail appeals or call our friends and alumni every year. Once a multi-year pledge is made, we delay calls until that pledge is completed. Direct mail appeals are typically sent at the end of the calendar and/or fiscal year.
In addition to written appeals for support, we undertake a student-driven phonathon during the year. This is a chance for you to speak directly to a student on campus, to share your experiences, to hear about campus life now, and of course, to pledge support to the Scholarship Fund.
What is the fiscal year at Harding?
Our fiscal year runs from July 1 - June 30. This may cause some confusion for donors as the tax year follows the regular calendar. New federal accounting standards require that we close our financial year exactly on June 30. Pledge payments of gifts which are received in July cannot be counted to the fiscal year which had just ended.
Can I specify where my gift will be spent?
Yes, but your gift might not count towards the Scholarship Fund. If you would like to restrict your gift to a specific purpose, you can simply make a note of it on the check or include a short note with your gift or pledge payment.
Also, certain corporations limit matching program funds if gifts are restricted. Please check with your company for any matching gift conditions before assigning restrictions to your gifts to Harding.

John Jenkins' shot goes "flat" in win, needs tweaking
John Jenkins shoots. That's what shooters do. But he couldn't buy a basket in Vanderbilt's 77-76 squeaker over Marquette on Wednesday night at Memorial Gym, and afterward Coach Kevin Stallings said the gifted sophomore guard's shot has flattened out. "Obviously John Jenkins didn't have his normal shooting night and we were able to overcome that," […]

When sending out a CV it should always be accompanied by a covering letter. The covering letter can be a major determinant of success. Here is an example of a typical covering letter sent in response to an advertisement in a newspaper. Another covering letter can be found here. If you are having problems writing a covering letter you might try posting your questions on the English Forum.
Dear Mr Fish, Re: Fitness Instructor Vacancy I am writing to apply for the job of Fitness Instructor, as advertised in Monday's Courier newspaper.. This is an ideal job for me given my enthusiasm for sport, my related experience and qualifications. Sport and fitness training have always been important to me, which is why I chose to take a BTEC Diploma in Sports Science. I obtained distinctions in the Sports Anatomy & Physiology and Sports Injuries modules last year and am confident that I will get similar marks in Exercise Physiology, Mechanics of Sport and Sports Supervision & Management this year. I am a confident user of Microsoft Office and have worked extensively with Fitness Line, a program for analysing fitness. As you can see from my CV, I've taken the opportunity to gain extra qualifications that were on offer at college, which has helped me get part-time work as a pool attendant. I'm called on to provide cover during busy times so am used to working irregular hours at short notice. I've also run a lunchtime aerobics class at college since the start of this year. I finish college in six weeks and am keen to find a job rather than carry on with further full-time study. I could start any part time work or training sooner as many of my classes are finishing and most of my assignments are done. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely |

Definitly a diaper day!
After getting my news letter this morning, I ordered a new Perfect Pocket from SoftBums -- I had a hard time choosing between that and the AI2, but since my entire stash is pockets and prefolds, I thought the Perfect Pocket would blend in better. I loved my Blueberries with my second (fat kid! lol), but my newbie (well, not so much now, he's 7.5 months) is a lanky little thing and the blueberries tend to gap around the thighs. Here's hoping the perfect fit diaper holds true to its name!
And after 2 years of CDing, you'd think I owned a wet bag, right? Wrong. Haha. So today I ALSO hopped on to etsy and ordered myself a wetbet! Nice too! Black and white damask and its' a shaped bag (triangle with flat bottom) with a zipper and it will match perfectly with my black purse :-D AND, since my entire stash of Blueberries is COMPLETED delaminated, I'm attempting to rewaterproof them today. I hope it works becuase it's almost $400 worth of diapers I'm currently not using! Thank goodness I love prefolds and thirsties, hahaha. Advertisement

Kyle Rausch
At Missouri State Kyle Rausch shifted from football to basketball in his second year at Missouri State and plans to stay with the hardwood sport after electing not to continue with his career with the football Bears. Rausch was a wide receiver on the Bears' football team for two seasons, redshirting in 2004 and getting into three Missouri State games in 2005. He joined the basketball team last winter after the close of the football campaign and got into 10 games for the Bears last winter. With an offseason to concentrate on basketball, he has a chance to get ready and be able to give the Bears a spark for the next three seasons. 2005-06 Rausch got into 10 games last season and played a total of 22 minutes. He tallied a free throw in the home win over Drake and two in the win over Evansville for his only points. He blocked two shots in his first outing, the Price Cutter Classic semifinal game win over Georgia Southern, and hauled down two of his three rebounds in the home win vs. Arkansas State. Background Rausch was a three-year starter and standout for Blue Springs South on the hardwood, playing on teams which finished 13-13 two of his three seasons for coach Jimmy Cain. Rausch helped the Blue Springs South football team to an 8-2 season record and a number two state ranking in Missouri at the end of his senior season as a wide receiver. He was named first team all-area, all-district, all-metro in Kansas City and all-conference as a senior. He received second team all-state recognition. Rausch caught nine touchdown passes as a senior to set a Suburban Big 8 Conference record. His junior year, his team was ranked fourth in the state at the end of the campaign and Rausch was all-conference, all-area and all-district. He holds the school record for longest touchdown catch, an 83-yarder. Personal Kyle Anthony Rausch was born September 4, 1985, in Kansas City, Mo., the son of Kent and Melissa Rausch. Kyle's great-grandmother attended MSU more than 80 years ago. Kyle's academic major is undecided. |

Thai shoppers love Tesco's cheap produce, but critics say its low prices are driving mom-and-pop stores out of business
The critics may have a point. Tesco Lotus's superstore in Bangkok's Lat Phrao district is certainly a world away from the scruffy mom-and-pop stores that used to serve the local residents here.
Sitting amid an ocean of parking spaces, this vast edifice boasts a DVD store, a hotpot restaurant, numerous American fastfood outlets, tinkers, tailors, ATMs and cell phone stands, and all that before you get to the vast aisles of the superstore itself. All under a single roof. It's cheap, clean and right next to the expressway.
A few kilometres further down the expressway is a new mini mall with a luxury supermarket for upscale Thais and expatriates, and a gaggle of restaurants specialising in cuisines from around the world. Tastes, like the times, are changing.
Tesco, Britain's biggest supermarket retailer, is not the only international player on the scene here—Carrefour has long had a presence through its Big C stores. But it is Tesco, thanks to its success, that has become the focus of intense criticism for its aggressive marketing and expansion.
It is not an unfamiliar complaint. Tesco has for years faced similar criticism in the UK, although the complaints are less about struggling small businesses and more about the character of the traditional British high street, with its friendly local butcher who knows just how Mrs Miggins likes her Sunday roast trimmed.
Ironically, though, British shoppers are increasingly discovering that a bit of competition only hurts uncompetitive businesses. In place of old-fashioned stores, many high streets are now hosting a new generation of butchers and cheesemongers and delicatessens that sell high-quality local produce and organic foods, and are just as friendly as the old lot. Farmers' markets are springing up too. The British high street is indeed changing, but often for the better.
The criticism in Thailand is no less ironic, but it has been so ferocious of late that Tesco has taken the extraordinary step of launching a libel suit against Kamol Kamoltrakul, a business writer, and Jit Siratranont, vice general secretary of the Thai Chamber of Commerce.
Tesco's suit cites an article Kamol wrote in BangkokBizNews, which accused the retailer of using sneaky accounting tactics to dodge taxes and claimed that Tesco earned 37% of its income from Thailand, which would indeed be an alarming piece of news if it were true. Kamol has conceded that he got that part wrong, inflating the real number by 10 times after apparently misreading a figure in the company's accounts.
He says that Tesco unfairly repatriates income to the UK by charging royalties to the Thai operation in exchange for management expertise and for the use of its brand and trademarks, which would succeed in avoiding Thai corporate taxes but still leaves the income exposed to UK taxes, which are about the same.
However, the main thrust of the complaint, made by both men, is that Tesco's aggressive growth puts small local stores out of business—the tax issue is a bit of a red herring, given that it is a common practice for most international brands operating in Thailand or anywhere else in the world.
But even this mom-and-pop argument is problematic. Tesco first started doing business in Thailand in 1998 and now employs 30,000 people in 370 stores, the vast majority of which are Tesco Express stores that compete directly with 7-Eleven, which has been doing mom-and-pop stores out of business across Thailand for 20 years.
One source says that Jit has a hidden agenda that he has succeeded in promoting to some local journalists. "He is playing a political game, looking for the support of big businessmen up-country who cannot compete with Tesco," he says. "Those who can't compete always complain, but consumers aren't complaining. 7-Eleven isn't complaining."
Political game or not, Tesco is not taking the criticism lightly. Journalists in Thailand and the UK have slammed the company for trying to silence Kamol with such heavy-handed tactics, but a Tesco spokesman responded by saying: "Tesco is of course not trying to intimidate Mr Kamol or Mr Jit, but we do have a right to defend our company and our colleagues against false allegations. We took this action reluctantly but felt we had no choice after a sustained campaign of misinformation spread by the two individuals over many months.
"Tesco does not have a history of acting through the courts and will only do so under extreme provocation. In fact until 2008 we had never taken any libel action at all. It would therefore be irresponsible and misleading to suggest that Tesco had a policy of attempting to suppress criticism."
Tesco is clearly afraid that the constant scaremongering could make its business a target for popular revolt, similar to the protests against ThaiBev when it tried to list on the Thai stock exchange. That seems unlikely—the image of wholesome mom and pop stores serving the community is a nice one, but it doesn't bear much scrutiny.
"These small stallholders are the ones who are most likely to evade taxes, ignore labour laws and sell liquor and cigarettes to children, so it's interesting to think of them as the fabric of Thai society," says Supavud Saicheua, an economist at Phatra Securities.
Instead of pursuing its problems through the courts, Tesco might be better off trying to make peace in other ways. It first came to Thailand in partnership with Charoen Pokphand, the country's leading retailer, but the group sold its minority stake in Tesco Lotus (and in Dutch-owned Makro) in 2003 to focus on its majority shareholding in 7-Eleven. Since then both Tesco and 7-Eleven have grown considerably, and largely in competition with each other, but only Tesco has drawn the ire of critics. That could provide a clue for how Tesco can most effectively silence its critics.
"Tesco could dilute into the stockmarket," says Kongkiat Opaswongkarn, chief executive of brokerage firm Asia Plus. "Giving some ownership to the Thai people would probably help to alleviate its problems. They don't need the cash of course, but cash is not the only angle—making friends at least gives you a local shareholder base to protect you in the future."
Judging by how popular its stores are, despite the critics, Tesco Lotus would be a popular stock. And what better way to keep people happy than by selling them stuff they want at cheap prices, on the one hand, and earning them a nice yield on the stock exchange on the other. It would certainly get a more favourable reaction in the press than suing journalists.

Persistent pupillary membrane
Persistent pupillary membrane | |
Human eye with persistent pupillary membrane
Classification and external resources | |
Persistent pupillary membrane (PPM) is a condition of the eye involving remnants of a fetal membrane that persist as strands of tissue crossing the pupil. The pupillary membrane in mammals exists in the fetus as a source of blood supply for the lens. It normally atrophies from the time of birth to the age of four to eight weeks.[1] PPM occurs when this atrophy is incomplete. It generally does not cause any symptoms. The strands can connect to the cornea or lens, but most commonly to other parts of the iris. Attachment to the cornea can cause small corneal opacities, while attachment to the lens can cause small cataracts. Using topical atropine to dilate the pupil may help break down PPMs.
In dogs, PPM is inherited in the Basenji but can occur in other breeds such as the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Chow Chow, Mastiff, and English Cocker Spaniel.[1] It is also rarely seen in cats, horses, and cattle.

Shuttle Bus timetable in Cinque Terre spring 2012
Here we come with an updated timetable of the shuttle bus service in the 5 Terre valid from March 2012.
Some things to remind:
- This timetable is subjected to changes, we don't guarantee its accuracy. This post has to be intended as guideline and basic information, ask for precise information in the info point of the 5T National Park.
- The bus service is a connection between the historic centres of each Village and its upper part, its parking ( always located in the high part of the towns) and its hamlets in the surrounding hills; there's no BUS connection between the 5 coastal villages. The connection between the coastal villages is guarantee by train, ferry (not Corniglia) and road (we'll publish soon a detailed guide to the current road situation).
- The shuttle bus service is included in the Cinque Terre Card; on-board is also available a ticket for the single stroke.
- Vernazza is currently in troubles due to the flood occurred last October; the road is still under recostruction and the shuttle strokes are reduced to the minimum. It's recommended not to drive to Vernazza, of course the situation is in progress and we invite you to follow our regular updates on this blog and on our twitter channel http://twitter.com/#!/cinque_terre
- There's no timetable for Corniglia: the shuttle BUS departure is scheduled from the train station toward the town at every train arrival in both directions.

Very Nice!
By Patricia
from Toronto
I was surprised how much I liked this ring, as most pieces I purchased from Kristen Alfonso's line I returned, not been the quality for the price, but this one is a keeper. I got a bargain in this on sale. The topaz stones are very small, but do give off sparkle which was nice to see. The hemitite stone is large and the design of the ring is very lovely.
Classic ring
By Diane
from Saint-Hubert
This ring looks great and is so comfortable to wear. I have the silver one that I wear with the silver and hematite hoops and the silver chain with white jade, hematite and diamonds. I would recommend this ring.
I can't BELIEVE how much i love it.
By Suzi Q
from Ontario
I ordered this ring to go with a lovely black maxi dress I had purchased. I was not disappointed! From the moment it arrived I have been quite impressed with how lovely it is and what a presence it has, bold yet demure. I wear it often. Don't hesitate at this low price.

I have Tomcat set up to launch at start up on my Ubuntu box. Trouble is, I have to manually supply a root password on each boot. Is it possible for this to be automated? Do I just supply an command parm? If so, what is the syntax? Thank you!
I'm unsure about how you have pulled this off, but it does sound like you have tomcat start up when you login rather than when the machine boots. Am i right? Anyway, you should have it start when it boots. The following procedures should be done as root. When in use, init will do them as root. The quick and dirty way:Given that your start script is "/usr/local/tomcat/bin/startup.sh" the just add that line to the file /etc/rc.local and reboot. The right way:Make an upstart script. I haven't really done that before, but I saw this: https://gist.github.com/2924017 which might work. Put the file (tomcat.conf) in /etc/init/ and reboot. As a service, you can start, stop, restart and get status on services by doing: start tomcat stop tomcat restart tomcat status tomcat This is of course how all services in Ubuntu behave. (gdm, apache, ssh, etc..) Hope it helps :) |

Band Saws
A band saw is a power tool which uses a blade consisting of a continuous band of metal with teeth along one edge which rides on two or more wheels rotating in the same plane.
Band saws range in throat capacity from 8" to 36", with either two or three wheels for the blade. Blades for the home shop range from 1/8" to 1" wide, the narrow blades are used to cut small radius curves, the wide blades are used for straight cuts such as resawing. The smaller three wheel style is not that popular as the blades tend to break frequently due to the small curvature around the wheels. Early Band Saws |
Pedal Band Saw 1877 |
14" Band Saw
Be aware that manufactures seem to list band
saws based on the diameter of the wheels, not the throat capacity, a
14" saw will often only have a throat capacity of around 13 1/2". A
good quality band saw properly set up it will become one of the most
used tools in your shop. Choose at least a 14" model if you plan to do
much resawing, the smaller models are a bit too light. Most
would choose a band saw over a table saw if only one of them could be
had, they are so much more versatile. Cutting dados is not possible on
a band saw but they can be done on a router. The
only downside is that they require more set up than any other tool in
the shop, different operations require different blades, each time a
blade is changed the saw has to be tuned to that particular blade. Many
shops eventually end up with a large machine for heavy work and a
smaller machine with a narrower blade for fine work. 18" Band Saw
A good entry level machine.
An excellent resawing
Tuning a Band Saw
Unplug bandsaw when installing and centering blade.
Adjust tilt of top wheel so the gullets of the teeth are running dead center on the wheels, spin the top wheel by hand to check. The tension should be just enough to prevent slipping on the wheels but not enough to stretch the blade, the wider the blade the more tension required. If there is too little tension the blade will not cut straight, increase a bit at a time until you feel you can control the cut. Some inexpensive or damaged blades will wander no matter what you do. Set guide blocks to miss the teeth but support the rest of the blade. Wrap a single layer of 24# paper around the blade to set the side clearance. The back up roller should be set so it does not turn when idling but will support the blade when cutting. Condition the back of the blade, with the blade running hold a sharpening stone against the back corners of the blade to round them off, this will allow you to cut sharper corners with less binding. Check if table is set square to blade, otherwise your cut will not be 90 degrees. Set fence to blade, most band saws do not cut parallel to edge of table so the fence has to be adjusted accordingly. Mark a line about 3" from and parallel to the straight edge of a 12" square scrap of plywood, make a cut into plywood following the line for about six inches. Stop the saw, keeping the plywood in the position it was in while making the cut. Align the fence to the straight edge of the plywood. There are many variables when setting a band saw, each blade will have its own characteristics, often you may find that you have to go back and tweak some of the previous settings again as you go through the procedure. It can be a time consuming exercise, but well worth it in the long run. Before adjusting your saw watch this video by Carter, it is the best explanation I have ever run across: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=wGbZqWac0jU
Carter Products from Rockler.com
Band Saw Blades
Bandsaw Blades Order from: Using the proper blade will give a better cut and make the job much easier and safer. Regular Tooth - Available in finer tooth pitches for
smoother cuts in all woods. NOT for resawing. Hook Tooth - 10° rake angle - best for hard and difficult to cut woods. High rake angle makes the blade very aggressive. Skip Tooth - 0° rake angle - best for softer woods. An all purpose blade, excellent for resawing. More
teeth per inch will make a smoother cut but the blade will cut slower,
a blade with fewer TPI will cut quicker and leave a rougher finish. For
resawing, you will want an aggressive blade, one with very few TPI, and
as wide as the saw will accommodate. As a general rule you will want at
least 3 teeth in the material at all times. A wide blade will provide
you with more stability and giver you a straighter cut. The narrower
the blade the tighter the radius you can cut. You should always run as
wide a blade as possible for the particular job.
Band Saw Fences
One of the first things you will notice about a band saw is that every blade cuts on a different path. Setting the fence parallel to the miter slot will not usually work, the cut will tend to drift toward one side or the other. To set the fence draw a line down the center of a scrap of plywood about a foot square, cut along this line about half way through, twisting the plywood to stay on the line. Stop the cut, shut of the band saw with the plywood still in the position to cut along the line. The edge of the plywood will indicate the angle the fence must be set at for that particular blade. Most experienced woodworkers will purchase at least one quality blade in the widths they think they will need when purchasing a new saw and use these blades instead of the stock blade that comes with the saw. |
Band Saws & Accessories from Rockler
Band saws, scroll saws, professional quality blades and accessories.
Fasten the machine securly to the bench or stand.
Read the owners manual and understand the limitations of your particular machine. Wear safety glasses or face sheild. Make sure all guards are in place, never run the saw with wheels exposed in case the blade should run off. Set upper guide to 1/8" above stock being cut. Ensure blade tension is set properly and the blade is tracking in the center of the wheels. Hold stock firmly and flat on the table with your hands braced against the table. Keep your hands to one side of the blade, not in line with it, don't force the material into the blade. Use a fence and push stick to cut narrow pieces. Keep the floor clear of clutter around the machine. Do not back the stock away from the blade if the saw is in motion. Use the proper blade for the job, narrow blade to cut small radius curves, wide blade to cut straight lines. Never leave the saw running unattended. |

NuScale laying off majority of workers
- Erik Siemers, Business Journal staff writer
NuScale Power Inc. on Friday expects to lay off a majority of its remaining 70 workers after its hopes for a critical piece of funding fell through.
The Corvallis-based startup, which is developing scalable nuclear reactor technology, is on the hunt for new financial backing after its primary investor's assets were frozen as part of a federal U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission probe.
A federal judge last month gave a receiver in the case the authority to issue loans to companies, including NuScale, that were expecting payments from the Stamford, Conn.-based Michael Kenwood Group.
But NuScale Chief Financial Officer Bruce Landrey said the receiver on Monday decided not to approve the loans to the company.
NuScale had been hoping to receive $5 million, which Landrey said would have been enough to keep the company going for four to five months, long enough to put together long-term funding and keep its work force employed.
Now that the funding fell through, NuScale — which had already furloughed 30 other workers — will scale down to between 15 and 25 workers, though the exact number hasn't been determined.
"We will continue with a core group of employees working toward securing both interim financing, long-term financing and continuing progress on our commercialization and licening efforts," Landrey said.
The SEC claims that Francisco Illarramendi, the Kenwood Group's majority owner, misappropriated some $53 million from a pair of hedge funds controlled by the Kenwood Group into bank accounts he personally controlled and then made unauthorized investments in long-term private equity deals.
